when did gypsy rose go to prison

Gypsy Rose Blanchard went to prison in 2016, after pleading guilty to second- degree murder in connection with the killing of her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard.

Quick timeline

• June 2015: Dee Dee Blanchard is found dead, and Gypsy Rose is arrested along with her then-boyfriend, Nicholas Godejohn.

• 2016: Gypsy Rose accepts a plea deal, pleads guilty to second-degree murder, and receives a 10-year prison sentence; this is when she is transferred into state prison custody.

• December 2023: She is released on parole after serving roughly seven to eight years of that 10‑year sentence.

Context and why it matters

• Her sentence and imprisonment were shaped by the court’s recognition that she had endured years of severe medical and psychological abuse from her mother (often described as Munchausen syndrome by proxy–type abuse).

• The case has remained a trending topic because of documentaries, dramatizations like the Hulu series “The Act,” and her transformation into a kind of controversial social‑media figure after release.
